It's a Logger Thing You Wouldn't Understand

2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.

Name the right job

Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a logger will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.

The 2 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.

Who it is for

Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.

Not a lumberjack costume

Logging is dangerous industrial work with one of the higher injury rates of any trade, and the romantic woodsman image sits oddly with the people who actually do it.

The chainsaw is a tool, not a personality, and the good designs know the difference.

Anyone in the trade can tell whether a design was drawn by someone who has been on a landing.

Sizing and ordering

  • Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
  • Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
  • Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.

If it is not quite the right job

The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Macro Photographer, Manager and Master Plumber each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
